Who will J.K. Rowling kill?

"Is this her way to kill off series?"

Maybe.

For Mrs. Rowling, she said that it would be a good move for her to kill two of the main characters since it is that last in the series; Thus, it will be easier for the readers to move on and expect nothing more from her. As this statement was made 2 weeks ago, rumors started spreading out fast. Some said that it will be Ron and Harry since its plot is gyrating around bravery and friendship. Others said that it would be Voldemort and Harry as the only way to Voldemort could die is if Harry dies as well.

I concur with the author that it would be best to kill of one or two of the main characters to terminate the series. But as for me, an avid reader and fan of Harry Potter, it would make the saga better if none of the three - Harry, Ron and Hermione would die. It would be awkward to kill Harry Potter given that he is a symbol of hope in the world of magic and the main character. Voldemort and another Death Eater, much likely to be Draco, would be more interesting to execute.

Whatever outcome the final installment will bring, it will surely leave a mark to us as the other books had made for the past decade.

Good day. :)
